18th Century Louis XIV Period Lyonnaise Chateau Bonnetiere

About the Item

Rare and difficult to find Louis XIV period chateau bonnetiere. Solid walnut. An exceptional example from the Lyon region of France, renown in the 1700s for its superior production of armoires. Typical of Louis XIV ornamentation, the upper cabinet features a stepped out cornice above a single door with a central arched panel. Smaller surrounding panels outline the center, culminating in four right-angle corners. Lower cabinet is fitted with a single drawer. Raised panels complement the design of the door on either side. Rests on two front flattened bun feet and two straight back feet. Interior is fitted with two shelves. The bold, contoured mouldings with deep relief and the wonderful aged patina give this bonnetiere a grand, yet elegant presence.
